(thanks so much for reading my recent race report!) I was riveted by your descriptions of that 4th loop. I can't imagine running through that level of sickness. You pulled through -- amazing!<br />Just reading your list of 2009 races in your blog's righthand column exhausts me :-). Keep up the great running and blogging, and I look forward to following you in some races later in 2010!Sarah Lavender Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119341345004909332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-84314093662254652832009-10-11T21:04:55.921-07:002009-10-11T21:04:55.921-07:00That's some grit there for sure.That's some grit there for sure.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338113711028123541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-6181646828232997582009-10-08T20:35:54.646-07:002009-10-08T20:35:54.646-07:00Way to go, Mark!

Or else no Vineman. <br />So if you're not calling your own wife during the race, you're calling someone else's wife! Pretty funny.<br /><br />So when do we get to hear about Hundred in the Hood?Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-43210357373275936712009-10-06T22:50:08.586-07:002009-10-06T22:50:08.586-07:00I knew I was going to forget something, finishing ...I knew I was going to forget something, finishing this 2 months out.

It was cool to see you finish strong and beat that 23:45 "goal"; good stuff after a night of being on edge.Gundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446437059363864127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-90788529940616877612009-10-06T21:11:05.173-07:002009-10-06T21:11:05.173-07:00Dude, you pulled through out there, especially fro...Dude, you pulled through out there, especially from Muir Beach back to TV and then the finish. My wife still gets a laugh out of you grabbing the phone to talk to her while we were on that saddle overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Incredible job of grinding it out, especially when you looked like a zombie coming out of Conzelman. I'd be more than willing to do it again, although faster is always more preferred...hehe.Gundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446437059363864127noreply@blogger.com
